1 Claim.

' 1o .iary compartment outside of the article-receiving portion of the bag; to provide for adequate covering and protection for the auxiliary compartment; to secure simplicity of construction and use; and to obtain other advantages and results as may be brought out in the following description.

Referring to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views;

Figure 1 is a face view or elevation of a handbag embodying the present invention;

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof on line 2-2;

Figure 3 is a face view of a portion of another hand-bag embodying. a modified structure;

Figure 4 is a sectional view thereof on line 44. 1

In the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated in said drawing, and referring initially to the construction illustrated in Figures 1 and 2,

the reference numeral 1 indicates the pouch portion of a bag, in this instance carried by an inverted frame 2 and having a flap 3 carried by said frame. The bag, may, however be constructed in any suitable manner, and the particular showing herein of the chosen bag is merely because of necessity to show some bag regardless of its detailed construction.

According to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 4 2, an opening is made in the flap approximately the size of the desired auxiliary compartment, and within this opening in the present instance, is mounted a cigarette container 4 which for convenience is shown as providing an outwardly open 5 frame 5 receiving the marginal portion of the flap around said opening. The said container 4 may be of any suitable construction and carried by said frame 5 in any suitable manner. For simplicity of illustration, the frame 5 is shown as an integral part of the container, although this is not a pre-requisite to the general combination. Furthermore, and merely by way of illustration, a spring arm 6 is shown within the container for retaining cigarettes 7 therein until desired for 65 use.

have shown a snap fastener 9 on the main flap An auxiliary flap 8 is provided upon the outside of main flap 3 for closing container 4 and for rendering ready access to be had to container 4 without raising the main flap. It is consequently a feature in the use of my improved hand-bag to enable access to be had to the auxiliary compartment for such items as cigarettes without opening the bag, this auxiliary container being. intended for articles, of which cigarettes are illustrativewhich are desired frequently and the character of which does not make it necessary nor perhaps even desirable to carry the same within the bag. Both of the flaps are arranged to be held closed, and by way of illustration I having a projection 10 adapted to engage within a socket 11 on the pouch 1. .I have also shown a snap fastener 12 on the auxiliary flap 8 with a projection 13 for engagement within a socket 14 on the main flap. 1

In the modified construction of Figures 3 and 4, pouch 15 similarly shown constructed with an inverted frame 16 and a flap 17 is shown having an opening made in the face of the pouch beneath the main flap. This opening carries an auxiliary compartment or container 18 having a frame 19 receiving the marginal edge around said opening for mounting the container therein. In this instance, as the article carried in' the container. I have illustrated a powder compact 20. A cover 21 is provided for this auxiliary container, and in this-instance I have shown the cover 'as comprising an inverted or peripherally open frame 22 hinged at 23 to said container and carrying a facing material 24 of suitable texture in the peripherally open part of the frame. The part of the cover frame opposite from the hinge 23 carries a locking member such as projection 25 for engagement with a cooperating member such as knob 26 projecting from the container to keep the container closed except as access to the interior may be desired.

It will accordingly be seen that my invention enables articles such ascigarettes and powder which are either frequently desired or which are objectionable within the bag, to be carried in and be readily accessible from the auxiliary compartment, without opening the main compartment or pouch of the bag.

Obviously other detail changes and modifications may be made in the construction and use of my improved bag without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact construction or constructions shown and deframe comprising an outwardly opening channel, and a flexible covering overlying said cover frame and having the peripheral edge thereof turned inwardly and secured by said outwardly opening channel, thereby completely covering the metal of the frame at the exterior of the bag and the cover also hiding the metal of the compartment frame whereby an auxiliary compartment is provided in theflexible outer wall in the bag with substantially no metal exposed.
